From Beijing With Love | Blu-ray (Eureka)
On October 23, 2023, Eureka is releasing the Blu-ray (Region B) for 1994’s From Beijing With Love. Hong Kong’s King of Comedy Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle) directs and stars in this hilarious spoof of the James Bond franchise.
Martini swilling butcher (and disgraced former spy) Ling Ling Chat is dispatched to recover a stolen dinosaur skull from a golden-gun wielding supervillain. Equipped with the latest gadgets, our hero dons his tuxedo and swaggers into a world of danger, beautiful women, and metal mouthed assassins. Sound familiar?
Co-stars include Anita Yuen (Handsome Siblings), Law Kar Ying (Shaolin Soccer), Pauline Chan Bo Lin (Hong Kong Showgirls), Joe Cheng Cho (Expect the Unexpected), Wong Yat Fei (Daggers 8), Yu Rong Guang (Fox Hunter) and co-director, Lee Lik Chi (Era of Vampires).

And King of Comedy. And Tricky Brains.
What was wrong with the previous Shaolin Soccer Bluray?
Didn’t even know it was *on* Blu-Ray… Possibly dubtitled, knowing Miramaxe.
Just oredered the French “box” of From Beijing with love/Flirting scholar.
My copy of Shaolin Soccer (Region B) includes both the Cantonese version (112 mins) and the dubbed one (87 mins) however, it is the release for the UK market, and I do not know if such a release is available in the USA as well. It has the logo of Miramax on the back, but I am quite happy with it, given the fact that the full version is included here, as I prefer to watch these movies with their original audio despite the subtitles.
